Abstract

WNT/β-catenin signaling plays pivotal roles during liver development, homeostasis, and regeneration. Likewise, its deregulation disturbs metabolic liver zonation and is responsible for the development of a large number of hepatic tumors. Liver fibrosis, which has become a major health burden for society and a hallmark of NASH, can also be promoted by WNT/β-catenin signaling. Upstream regulatory mechanisms controlling hepatic WNT/β-catenin activity may constitute targets for the development of novel therapies addressing these life-threatening conditions. The R-spondin (RSPO)-leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor (LGR) 4/5-zinc and ring finger (ZNRF) 3/ring finger 43 (RNF43) module is fine-tuning WNT/β-catenin signaling in several tissues and is essential for hepatic WNT/β-catenin activity. In this review article, we recapitulate the role of the RSPO-LGR4/5-ZNRF3/RNF43 module during liver development, homeostasis, metabolic zonation, regeneration, and disease. We further discuss the controversy around LGR5 as a liver stem cell marker.

摘要

WNT/β-catenin 信号通路在肝脏发育、稳态和再生过程中发挥着关键作用。同样,其失调会扰乱代谢性肝区带,并导致大量肝肿瘤的发展。肝纤维化已成为社会的主要健康负担,也是 NASH 的标志,也可以被 WNT/β-catenin 信号通路促进。控制肝脏 WNT/β-catenin 活性的上游调节机制可能成为针对这些危及生命的疾病开发新型治疗方法的靶点。RSPO-富含亮氨酸重复的 G 蛋白偶联受体 (LGR) 4/5-ZNRF3/RNF43 模块在多种组织中微调 WNT/β-catenin 信号通路,并对肝脏 WNT/β-catenin 活性至关重要。在这篇综述文章中,我们回顾了 RSPO-LGR4/5-ZNRF3/RNF43 模块在肝脏发育、稳态、代谢区带、再生和疾病中的作用。我们进一步讨论了 LGR5 作为肝干细胞标志物的争议。
